Holly in NC:
Hi Evan! Great start. I have to leave here, get gas, put air in tire, deliver dinner to a friend & pick up wine in exchange, go home & feed cats - *then* I'll be back! :-) I wish I had wings!

Mike East:

Andrea True:
I never became a freaky christian. Got any coke?

Matt from Springfield:
@Mike: If you boil the potatoes too soft, or of course boil the water out of the pot and burn the taters.

(When I was a little kid, I laughed at some line from TV about a character who was such a bad cook he would "burn spaghetti". Ha ha ha! That's funny, spaghetti's in water, how can you burn spaghetti!! Well once you start to cook and see how quickly water can boil away... :)

SteveL:
Mike East: It depends. Are you trying to make paste?

miss cheri:
evan tell me if you think that donna & robin was much better than whitney?

Wed. 5/23/12 9:54pm
a guess:
on 36 hours without sleep and 15 lines of coke, whitney could still sing mila kunis's wimpy ass under the table

miss cheri:

Mike East:
ok, I think they're good. Mashed potato casserole for tomorrow. I got nervous cuz the first set of music distracted me from what I was doing, but I don't think its too gluey. They seem to be delicious...of course I added butter and sour cream...

Barkevious Shabazz:
The cover of "The Slider" and a hot Eva Green were the only interesting things about Dark Shadows.

Wed. 5/23/12 10:00pm
Matt from Springfield:
Yum..sour cream instead of milk. That will give a very creamy taste to it.

Danne D:

Barkevious, who did the cover? I haven't seen the movie. (and hello!)

Wed. 5/23/12 10:40pm
Danne D:
time to go run out and get a celebratory hot chocolate. will be on for a little bit at the end of the show :)

Tonight would be an archive night - I'm sure you can understand EFD :)

SteveL:
Is it true Dave the Spazz is doing a LL Secret Chimp show/tribute tomorrow? I may have to plan ahead.

Wed. 5/23/12 10:46pm
Barkevious Shabazz:
Whither Matahari?

Wed. 5/23/12 10:47pm
Mike East:
thanks for the tips, Holly!

Holly in NC:
I heartily endorse Tift Merritt
Guess what? The dbs release party is Saturday June 9 at Motorco Music Hall in Durham NC - and guess what? I live 3 blocks away!!! I know those of you that live in NYC or other large cultural meccas are laughing, but allow me a little excitement ;-)

Danne D:
I was gonna comment how my supposed "unsurmountable" lead had been surmounted in the fantasy league and then much to my surprise I just saw that I somehow am back in first (temporarily) after a pretty awful night for my team.

The league has been fun this year, EFD. Seems like there's a lot more active and involved owners which makes it a nice challenge and that much more enjoyable.

miss cheri:
night danne & holly

Wed. 5/23/12 11:33pm
Danne D:
@Matt well, I tend to get a hot chocolate anyway. The tradition is about 2 EFD shows old :)

Wed. 5/23/12 11:33pm
Danne D:
gnight cheri

I hope I don't see ya next week Evan as it means I'll be at game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals :D

Wed. 5/23/12 11:35pm
Holly in NC:
Thought this (the Plimsouls) was Robyn H. for a minute! Just a minute. Whatever, it's great.

Wed. 5/23/12 11:35pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Danne Well then as a historian/archivist, I'll catalog that under "emerging trend" rather than "respected tradition".

Also under "choco-lovers; New Jersey" :)

Wed. 5/23/12 11:36pm
Danne D:
:( I'm sad about the Court Tav - especially as I'm likely to spend more time in N.B. in the next few months :(

Wed. 5/23/12 11:36pm
Danne D:
LOL Matt do you keep a notebook on all commenters?

Wed. 5/23/12 11:38pm
Danne D:
I have always thought that a "best of the comments boards" would be an awesome WFMU premium. I'd probably have to be unempolyed and/or independently wealthy to undertake that however.

I would like a premium on Best of the Comments Boards, but there's so many fantastic threads and individuals I've seen that it would be impossible to fairly come up with the "best". BUT, perhaps the Blog could have a "Comment of the Week" entry or something like that! The best-received comment of the previous Mon-Sun cycle.

Holly in NC:
Re the New Piccadillys: Misery is a cover of a 1963 song by The Dynamics - a song that the pre-Who High Numbers totally ripped off & turned into "Zoot Suit" ! Here's a link to the Dynamics: http://bit.ly/JTtMkZ And here's a link to the Who: http://bit.ly/JEJiem So good.

Danne D:
@Matt - with 10 years to go through it's an epic sift through. Heck een just doing it for the SUW comments would be an epic undertaking. Still would kinda like to do it one day :) It'd be like a bonus premium :)

Wed. 5/23/12 11:58pm
Danne D:
Anyway I gotta pack up :)
Thanks EFD :) for the good stuff I did get to hear. Looking forward to the rest on archive :D

Take care everyone!

G:
one issue, though, is that single comments don't exist in a vacuum -- how they look depends a lot on what is happening before and after them...

Wed. 5/23/12 11:59pm
Matt from Springfield:
Good night Danne!

@G: True, although comments that need the context to be understood as funny could have one (or really, at most two) preceding comments to establish the narrative. The whole thread might be hysterical, but you can't just reprint the whole thing just for a single "punchline".
